Please send your request and postal address to the ICIBS secretariat (foo@swipnet.se). NOTE - IMPORTANT: As it will cost the Secretariat 2-5 USD to respond to each request, this service is intended to assists participants from countries who for example, may have to pay 10 USD per hour web connection and when 10 USD means 1 or more days from their monthly salary. This service is therefore not intended for participants who can get web access in libraries or may easily find a friend who has.
